Phenom II X4 945 vs Xeon E5-440 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Phenom II X4 945 is faster than the Xeon E5-440. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-440 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Phenom II X4 945 has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-440. The info from our database shows that the Xeon E5-440 has more L2 cache than the Phenom II X4 945

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Phenom II X4 945 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
